Análisis del modelo de gobierno abierto en el Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal de Quito, año 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This document analyzes the implications of adopting the Open Government (OG) model implemented by the Metropolitan Directorate of Quito in 2023. The motivation for this study was the development of institutional openness that allows for transparency and citizen participation in administrative processes, utilizing Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This access to information is vital for citizens' rights. The methodology was qualitative and descriptive, employing an analytical approach that included a review of official records, interviews with key stakeholders, and an evaluation of the "open data" portal and participation tools. Despite the municipal government's willingness to adopt transparency and participation protocols, challenges persist, according to the results. The challenges revolve around the political alignment of current teams and ensuring the necessary technological and cultural skills are developed to fully institutionalize Open Government. At the end of the study, the local government proposed recommendations to improve OG and enhance relationships among the administration, citizens, and society.Keywords: local government, citizen participation, public policy.
